Wow- from what I've seen you post, you're really putting together a nice set. MS-63? Or AU-58? (cheating a little here, as I've seen that you were looking for AU coins on the BST!)

Not sure if you are using a DSLR or not but I have found the luster shows more if you use the lowest F-stop. That allows in the most light and gets you the fastest shutter speed. If the shutter is held open too long the luster kinda gets muted or blurred.

Wowie, that's some awesome target toning.

It was kind of an optical illusion to me when I looked at your obverse pic- it almost looked like the edges of the coins were shaved off, since the peripheral toning is darker than the center of the coin.

Sweet!
